Another beautiful day here in Trelawnyd. I have spent the day strimming and planting, stopping only to sell eggs to a few visitors. I was just boxing up half a dozen for ex trelawnyd man Peter, when a group of amblers walked past. Peter started to big up just how nice my eggs were and had a small crowd of them listening to his spiel when one old lady with the obligatory ski sticks and knapsack piped up loudly
" there are two goats over there chasing a pig!"
" I haven't got a pig" I told her shortly but turned around anyway to see what she was looking at
I snapped this bad photo after I went to investigate

Winifred being pursued by Irene & Sylvia

ReplyDeletethe rotten sodding city folk how dare they, poor winnie hope she did not here them, tell her i think she looks great the sheep are not chaseing her she is leading them she has her own fan club
ReplyDeleteShe deserves a bitch slap,for sure.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Jane... You're a hard woman x
DeleteBut honest.
DeleteJane xx
Oh my.
ReplyDeleteThis is like when someone asks "whens the baby due?"
and the person is not pregnant...
Poor Winnie!
Especially if they ask me
DeleteOh poor Winnie !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
When was the last time the old chick saw a pig? Clearly a dog.
ReplyDeleteWell the general shape is similar me thinks
DeleteHahaha - reminds me of a quizz in German TV long time ago, where a woman should draw a geeze. She painted it a) broiled and b) with 4 legs.
ReplyDeleteWas it stuffed?
DeleteTime for new glasses.
ReplyDeleteI like pigs, and so did Winston Churchill, so Winnie could take it as a compliment, but I'm not sure that the sheep would like being called goats ;)
~Jo
Oops!
ReplyDeleteI suppose from a distance and without one's driving glasses on........
how dare she exactly!!! tell her she needs knew glasses so she can spot a lady when she sees one!
ReplyDeleteI hope Winifred didn't hear what was said - bulldogs have feelings you know.
ReplyDeleteOh don't I know..... She's sulking at the moment because I have just asked her to leave the arm chair
Delete( she was sat on George)
How very rude!
ReplyDeleteThe scrufulous old heifer must be blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic is that, coming from a smutty cow? x
There is nothing wrong with being a smutty cow
DeleteI wear my new title with pride. However, you did break my Great Scot...when I shared it, the tears went rolling down my darlings (??) cheeks and sobs of laughter came from beneath the pillows.. Harrumph! ;-)
DeleteA leader, her list of talets builds.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I saw... I think the sheep were giving her the runaround
DeleteWinnie is so not a pig. She is a person.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make me the pig?
DeleteA pig!!! Poor Winifred.
ReplyDeleteI must admit at over 26 kilos she does look a little piggish from afar
DeleteOne of her kind came snuffling into the pub tonight and scared the shit out of a young, Molsem-looking fellow. Sans Balls - the dog, not the fellow, as far as I could tell.
Deleterude!
ReplyDeleteNow that, John, is funny !! …. and, by the looks of it, Winnie isn't put out at all. She looks well in control and a brilliant leader. Perhaps she has lost her calling as a sheepdog !! XXXX
ReplyDeleteThat was meant to be MISSED her calling !!! Oh God …. I'm getting old !! XXXX
DeleteTo be fair... They WERE chasing her
DeleteOh, let's give her the benefit of the doubt …. when you look at her face, she really looks as if she knows what she's doing. XXXX
DeleteIf you sprayed Winifred pink she would indeed look like a little porker. How come the old woman had ski sticks? It wasn't snowing today.
ReplyDeleteIt's a uniform they all wear
DeleteWaterproofs, knapsacks, long socks and two ski sticks
LOL! Poor Winnie! I HATE it when someone asks me if Sophie (my dog) has gained weight!!! IT"S HER FUR I tell them.....
ReplyDelete"They'? And the proper name for 'ski sticks' is Nordic Poles sir, as we each have a set here. Remember there are a lot of folks older than you Johnny me laddy.....lol
Nordic pole?
DeleteHow very rude
lol !
Deleteare the sheep Soay?
ReplyDeleteAnother reason grockles should stay where there are pavements everywhere. LMAO Seriously what version of Babe did she watch? (Babe is a tamworth, with that lovely ginger quiff)
They are indeed Soay girls
DeleteI can perhaps overlook that the woman thought Irene and Sylvia were goats as at first glance from a distance, a Soay may resemble one since they are not especially large sheep, and the horns may appear goatlike, again to the uninitiated. But Winnie looking like a pig? If she were pink, then i might give the woman a free pass.
ReplyDeleteA new set of spectacles may help, although people often see what they want to see and call it good.
Megan.. To be fair... Winnie is the BIGGEST bulldog I have ever seen.. So we could forgive the old duffer eh?
DeletePigs are very sweet. Take it as a compliment Winnie xx
ReplyDeleteShe wouldn't be arsed ..she's that sort of gal
DeleteBwahahaha!! I sure hope Winnie didn't hear that. Do you think she'd have cared?
ReplyDeleteAs above... She couldn't give a stuff
DeleteWinnie the pig.x
ReplyDeleteSimone... You have just coined a new nickname
ReplyDeleteI've never found using a metaphor to describe people's pets have pleasing results. My neighbor never appreciated me calling her small dog a winsome little slut.
ReplyDeletePrize for the best post comment goes to you my friend
DeleteI truly did laugh out loud when I read this!
ReplyDeletePoor baby!!
ReplyDeleteAh but, while you turned your back on the old duffer, she nicked half a dozen eggs!
ReplyDeletePoor Winnie, she does have some scrapes, I laughed until I farted!
The look on the cats' face was a picture, so I laughed until I..........
I know everyone is focused on the poorly sighted "ambler" (such a quaint term) and the insult to Winifred but im loving the actual photo. You really do have it going on in your small part of the world. Such a lovely scene to wake to each day. Im living vicariously through you as i sit here in an office with windows that dont open year after year moving paper from one side of the desk to the other. Heaven must be in Trelawnyd (which i still cant pronounce). My Yorkshire hubby (in Aust for 30 yrs) tells me i need to use the front of my mouth to be able to say it properly. Anything would be better than listening to him lose half his vowels and consonants (its painful, really). Even more amazing, you dont whinge!!! LOL No insult to the English in general, just one 50+ Yorkshireman (and seemingly his entire family). That Monty Python sketch seems annoying real to me. No wonder i want to Escape To The Country.
ReplyDeleteWell it's not all roses around the door...... But it's good to concentrate on the good bits.......
DeleteBahaha! THat's quite a hairy pig!
ReplyDeleteAw. Poor Winnie!
ReplyDeleteGood for a laugh now though. :-)
Should have gone to Specsavers!
ReplyDeleteObviously a pure townie .... or 'Mr Magoo' short sighted.
ReplyDeleteFancy calling Winnie a pig ... although they are both gorgeous in their own way. I have had some beautiful looking pigs :-)
How dare she!
ReplyDeleteShud've went to Specsavers!
ReplyDeleteI hope Winifred didn't hear that! Years of therapy!
ReplyDeleteShoulda gone to Specsavers
ReplyDeleteFavorite Young Man's nickname for his bulldog Stella is "Pig". It's said in love.
ReplyDeleteLove,
